Localizations
- Keyboard layout can be changed in setup (Delete at startup prompt); choice of AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZU. The DotEmu version does not show this prompt (see setup fix).
- The game language is chosen with the number pad keys, not the regular number keys; for keyboards without a dedicated number pad use Fn and the appropriate symbol.
